Cincinnati Fan Does A Backflip On Field, Gets Tased

Shocking behavior in Cincinnati last night when a fan ran himself onto the field and did a backflip before officers apprehended him - and deployed a taser.

The video circling the internet began with him running on the field like most of these videos begin, with his hands in the air and the crowd going wild.

His mistake came when he stopped to do a backflip, giving the officer chasing him enough time to catch up to him.

He then tried to run again, slipping away from the grip of the officer - who as you can see in the photo above already had his taser out.

The fan tried to get further away from the officer - who he was faster than, but the officer's taser was faster than the fan.

The fan fell face first into the grass, as a swarm of officers grabbed him and handcuffed him right where he was laying.

He was identified by officials as 19-year-old William Hendon before he was taken into custody and charged with felony criminal trespass and misdemeanor obstructing official business.

In the end, Cleveland beat Cincinatti 5-3, and now Hendon is banned from Great American Ball Park.

The judge was kind enough to reduce Hendon's criminal trespassing count to a misdemeanor because he was wrongly charged with a felony.

"You're a star, Mr. Hendon, you got your 15 minutes of fame," Municipal Court Judge William Mallory said during his arraignment.
